Hey everyone, I'm new to this reddit page and was hoping this could become a good resource for me as I navigate raising my new Cattle Dog cross, Chase!
Chase is just three days shy of seven months old, and I adopted almost two months ago from a rescue. He is 50% Cattle Dog and 50% Australian Shepherd but looks wise is certainly leaning more on the cattle dog side of things as you can see in the picture. He is sweet as pie and incredibly smart, but also stubborn as all hell and much more difficult to train so far than my retriever ever was. Realizing very quickly I need to alter my expectations of this dog!
If anyone can offer any advice or insights on how to train him effectively, or general quirks about cattle dogs that I may need to just accept as inevitable (lol) I would really appreciate it!
